@rapido oh poor RFU. That's one less Range Rover.
They supply their staff with Hyundais. There is one that parks in our street every night inviting vandalism in the form of an ABs bumper sticker.
That's not vandalism. It's enhancement.
Yes. It begs the question of HOW do you actually vandalise a Hyundai?
Actually it's worse than that, I hadn't taken that much notice of the make of car but realised walking past it last night that it is actually a Mitsubishi.
My dear boy. You really should move house.
It is only really the RFU that are lowering the tone of the neighbourhood

As someone who doesn't give a shit about 'coolness' when it comes to cars (boxes with 4 wheels and an engine to transport you from point A to point B ) is a Hyundai really cooler than a Mitsubishi?
I shared your sentiment - right up until I got a decent car. Not Hyundai or Mitsi

We have Hyundai Sonatas as our work cars. We thrash them, and the turbo has some get up and go, but shit they are crap for what we do with them. Even the indicator noise annoys the crap out of me.

@kiwimurph good move...now the shitstorm if Eddie actually selects him from within England!

Not really, they should have let the RU go to WR and ask for Shields release, proven that their interpretation of that sub clause is correct, egg on Eddie's face - then release him.
Gregor is talking himself in knots:
"NZR, in announcing their decision to release Shields, remained adamant they had a strong case to not do so"
"Across New Zealand there are significant numbers of dual-qualified players who may now find it easier to commit their international allegiance elsewhere in the middle of their Super Rugby contracts, knowing NZR, despite insistence otherwise, is powerless to stop them."
How does it go from NZR say they don;t have to release players to powerless to prevent it? God journos talk arse to stir shit.

Officially name, along with crazy Danny Cips!

@machpants Ha - a few of these photos "are not like the others".
Based on these I'd pick Shields over Willis!

Basically journos on both sides of the world got exposed for not doing their homework and verifying the drivel they jumped at. NZ Rugby was fully within their contract rights to make Eddie wait.
The only complication as far as NZ goes is the position the Hurricanes were placed in. Let him go and he gets hammered with travel/training and playing before the pointy end of the season. Make him stay and he will be pissed off that his chance to cement a place in Eddie's squad may have been squandered and his attitude could change.
The other thing NZR would want to keep promoting is the concept that they are fair to those in the NZ Rugby family. I note that they emphasise the 'best wishes' part of things.It is probably a masterstroke in that it will be Shields that shells a pass with the line open and signs England's death warrant at the RWC.

@majorrage On point one and two, yes.
On point three, no. Hansen, Chieka and whoever the new Bok coach is can all pick pretty effectively from Super rugby.
